Are you a HUD-certified and REO buyer agent in Ithaca, NY?

I am working with a journalist for a national magazine who is writing a story about the home buying process. His focus is foreclosures. If you have savvy and expertise in REO sales and HUD sales, share some background information that this buyer can use to narrow the field. We are looking for agents in the following areas: PA - Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Lehigh Valley; NY - Ithaca, Syracuse, New Paltz; Connecticut.
